Chrome extension is not logging data

See original GitHub issue

I use Vivaldi browser and I installed the extension for chromium-like web browsers. The logging from websites worked in 8.0 or maybe even 8.1 (I do not recall) but I noticed it is broken with 8.3.0.

Number of active tabs: 1
Tabs:
{
    "active": true,
    "audible": false,
    "autoDiscardable": true,
    "discarded": false,
    "extData": "{\"useDefaultIcon\":false,\"read\":true,\"ext_id\":\"ck375lp3o01ab3h5oc4gn111c\",\"urlForThumbnail\":\"https://github.com/ActivityWatch/activitywatch/issues/new?assignees=&labels=&template=bug_report.md&title=\",\"thumbnail\":\"data:image/jpeg;base64,/9j/********TRUNCATED*******f/9k=\"}",

    "width": 1700,
    "windowId": 158
}

{"testing":null,"lastSyncSuccess":true}

GUI is not showing the data, nor the “Dropdown”.

I tried installing Chrome (ugh) and it works there. It seems like Vivaldi specigic issue. Potentially other chromium-based browsers. I tried Brave too, and it works. To sum it up:

Vivaldi stable 2.9 ❌
Vivaldi snapshot 1719.3 ❌
Chrome stable ✅
Chrome canary ✅
Brave ✅

Environment

ActivityWatch version: 8.3.0
OS: Manjaro Linux i3 18.1 with 5.3.11-1 kernel

Additional context

In your bug report template, you refer to log files for Linux being in /.cache/SuperApp/ but it seems the standard path is /.cache/activitywatch/. I can send you some of them in private, but I consider my “activity” history private so I will only forward it if absolutely necessary (ideally using keybase). If I was you, I would specify what logs are most relevant and what personal data would be the person sharing if they chose to upload it to Github.
